Instructions

1. Line a muffin tin with liners and lightly spray them with nonstick spray (optional).
2. Roughly chop 1½ cups of the cereal and leave the remaining half cup whole. Put in a large bowl.
3. Over low heat, melt the peanut butter, coconut oil and maple syrup in a medium pot, stirring until smooth and just simmering at the edges. Take off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
4. Pour the mixture over the cereal and stir until fully coated. Divide among the muffin cups, filling about two-thirds full, and press the tops flat and compact with the bottom of a small measuring cup.
5. Microwave the chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted (or melt it in a small saucepan over very low heat).
6. Spoon a little melted chocolate over each cup and tilt the tin to spread it evenly. Freeze for 30 minutes, until the bars are completely cool and the chocolate is hard.
7. Sprinkle with sea salt, remove from the liners and serve. Keep covered in an airtight container in the freezer, as they soften quickly at room temperature. Makes 12.
